Jamboree pairings

Post by Jon Underwood » Thu Sep 04, 2025 4:40 pm

Does anyone know somewhere I can obtain jamboree pairings for a single round (4 teams, 12 boards so obviously easy enough) without having to design the page myself?

You may well find them in BCF yearbooks of the past.

A Google search came up with some stuff on the ECF website

as well as a link back to the forum archive

David Welch RIP gave me a copy of his modified jamboree pairings. The following, taken from this, is for a teams of twenty boards, but presumably you could truncate it at just twelve boards.

4 Team, 1 Rd Jamboree

Bd Rd 1
1 DA BC
2 AB CD
3 CA DB
4 AC BD
5 AD CB
6 BA DC
7 DA BC
8 AB CD
9 CA DB
10 AC BD
11 AD CB
12 BA DC
13 DA BC
14 AB CD
15 CA DB
16 AC BD
17 AD CB
18 BA DC
19 DA BC
20 AB CD

Your best source of Hilton Jamboree pairings.

https://www.oxfordfusion.com/epsca/index.cfm

It includes 12 board pairings for 3 to 26 players over 2, 3 and 5 rounds.

You just follow the instructions on the spreadsheet, and it guides you through the whole process.

For one round, just do one round.
